Why the Harlem River?
Avoid the Harlem River. There is a whole slew of bridges. Good luck on getting any of them opened. Instead, watch for the change of current at the Hell Gate, then zip down the East River on the current at up to four knots and, if you time it right, slingshot around the Battery and ride the current again up the Hudson.
